What people love about Wildlife Tours in USA
- Alaska: Ocean Wildlife to Interior Wilderness Adventure - 9 Days
This was a 5-star experience with a full itinerary, above and beyond our expectations with up close wildlife viewing, an array of activities, and incredibly knowledgeable and fun guides.
- America's National Parks with Denver
Excellent driver and director. Would have liked more time in Yellowstone as there was a lot we didn’t get to see eg Grand Prismatic Spring which was disappointing. Good hotels
- Alaska Kenai Adventure 9 Days
My husband and I loved our time in Alaska with Infinite Adventures. The trip was planned to perfection- plenty of adventurous activities (hiking, kayaking, wildlife cruise), but also lots of time to relax and enjoy the Aaskan wilderness. Natalie is an awesome tour guide who is as equally fun and she is knowledgable. We wouldn't change a thing about our experience and would highly recommend Indinite Adventures for your next trip!
